Dr. Seuss's classic 1954 book Horton Hears a Who has entertained generations of children and served as the inspiration for a 26-minute, 1970 television special Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who and the 2000 Broadway musical Seussical: The Musical. This 2008, full-length animated movie features the voice talents of Jim Carrey as Horton, Steve Carrell as the Mayor of Whoville, Carol Burnett as the Kangaroo, and Jesse McCartney as JoJo and promises to delight a whole new generation of children and their parents and grandparents. The technological wonders of computer animation have allowed 20th Century Fox Animation to bring to life the wacky, colorful Whoville with its minute inhabitants and the lush Jungle of Nool with its host of distinctive animals and the result is a rich, fantastical world of wonder worthy of Dr. Seuss' own imagination. All the major plot elements of Dr. Seuss' book are present, with Horton hearing the faint cry for help from a tiny dust speck atop a small clover and doing his best to protect the inhabitants of that small civilization of Whoville despite the disbelief, disdain, and persecution of his fellow animals. The feel of Dr. Seuss' original rhyming prose is partially preserved in the sparse narration by Charles Osgood that's interspersed throughout the film's dialogue and the overarching themes of staying true to one's convictions and the celebration of the power of perseverance, imagination, and kindness come through loud and clear. Horton Hears a Who is a fun rendering of a classic Dr. Seuss story that's sure to entertain viewers of all ages. --Tami Horiuchi

I was looking forward to this movie, and it got good reviews. But I found it worse than disappointing when I watched it. The adaptation misses the warmth of Seuss, the big hearted humanity, and the wonderful weirdness. Yes, Horton is right and the rest of the "Big" world is wrong, but in the original Seuss is kind to both sides. In this adaptation the bad guys are unrelentingly shrill and unpleasant, while Horton is annoyingly superior all the way through. Neither side is able to convincingly grow ... Read More

I didn't watch this movie with children but still I fell in love with it! I do love animations but I must say that this one along with Ratatouille is by far the best featuire length animations I have ever seen!
I also think this is Jim Carrey's best work! He really made Horton exactly as he should be!
Great job Carrey!

The scene which I absolutely love is the moment when Jo Jo's secret sound system is discovered by his father; everything is alive musically, bells are ringing out, squeaky toys can be heard and every sound is joyously adding more resonance to the Who's rallying call to he heard, so the film culminates in one phenomenal musical centre piece which does lift you up. You feel when watching the film that everyone's enthusiasm at Blue Sky was poured into each frame and of course it must have helped with ... Read More

Let's be honest for a second, when you have three of the biggest comic actors come together in an animated feature, it was destined to be funny. For an animated Dr. Seuss adaptation, this is not just funny but damned hysterical and one of the best CG animated features to date. In recent years, the Dr. Seuss films haven't exactly delivered as expected so I think most people weren't expecting much, but honestly it's really great.
The story focuses around Horton the Elephant (Jim Carrey) ... Read More

AT LAST! A Dr. Seuss movie that is...Seuss!
Perhaps I should say, first of all, that Dr. Seuss was, at least the estimation of many, a literary genius-though, as goes without saying, of a special variety. There is good reason to suspect that his legacy will survive right along side of Mother Goose, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson; with the passing centuries, his stories may well only become more and more synonymous with classic, timeless fairy tales and children's fables. ...
